Final-year NAS Defender 90 - a model that was sold in the United States for just a handful of years before Land Rover ended North American imports. The 4.0L V8 has recently received an engine-out service that included new head gaskets, head cleaning, fresh fluids, a new radiator, water pump replacement, and transfer case resealing -- meaningful work that addresses the known vulnerabilities of this platform and sets the next owner up for confident use. A small suspension lift and BFGoodrich 31-inch tires on stock 16-inch wheels give it a purposeful stance without compromising its originality. The seller describes it honestly as a driver with minor cosmetic imperfections and no rust -- a candid assessment that adds credibility. The AC is present but non-functional. This suits a collector or enthusiast who wants a genuinely low-mileage, mechanically refreshed NAS Defender ready to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out the pictures in the gallery \u0026amp; use the contact form to get in touch with us and the seller to ask questions and\/or make an offer for this vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYear: 1997\u003cbr\u003eMake: Land Rover\u003cbr\u003eModel: Defender 90 NAS\u003cbr\u003eDrive: All Wheel Drive\u003cbr\u003eMiles: 1,530\u003cbr\u003eMileage Verification: TMU\u003cbr\u003eFuel Type: Gasoline\u003cbr\u003eTransmission: Automatic\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Forward Gears: 4\u003cbr\u003eEngine: 4.0 V8\u003cbr\u003eExterior Color: White\u003cbr\u003eInterior Color: Grey\u003cbr\u003eState of Registration: Georgia\u003cbr\u003eVehicle Location: Atlanta, GA\u003cbr\u003eVIN: Available Upon Request\u003cbr\u003eTitle: Clean\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Transmission:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEngine Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eTransmission Modifications: No\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain, Suspension, Tires \u0026amp; Brakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrivetrain Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eSuspension Modifications: Yes\u003cbr\u003eSmall lift\u003cbr\u003eWheel Size and Offset: 16\u003cbr\u003eWheel Brand and Model: Stock\u003cbr\u003eTire Brand, Model, and Size: BFG 31’s\u003cbr\u003eType of Brakes: Disc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExterior \u0026amp; Interior:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a driver.

Debuting in 1994 primarily as a soft-top, the 90 benefited from customer feedback on fit and finish before production ended in 1997—the year when revised federal safety regulations mandating airbags and side-impact protection made continued importation economically unviable. The NAS 90 was powered by a 4.0-liter aluminium V8 petrol engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering 182 horsepower. All examples featured left-hand-drive configuration and carried the factory-supplied Safety Devices roll cage with padding—a signature element setting them apart from imported right-hand-drive models. The 1997 final year saw approximately 300 Limited Edition vehicles finished in exclusive Willow Green with diamond-plated body protection. Stripped of complex emissions and electronic systems, the NAS Defender 90 achieved legendary off-road capability while retaining spartan, utilitarian character that defined the marque.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Land Rover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55564024840511,"sku":null,"price":60000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8095\/8783\/files\/IMG_3197.jpg?v=1792003768","url":"https:\/\/curatedovrlnd.com\/products\/1997-land-rover-defender-90-nas-2","provider":"CURATED OVR LND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
